Visiting Houston from NYC and have been recommended this restaurant by the folks from LA !!! Wow ! The real authenticity and hospitality! Came by 2 days in a row ! The street tacos and enchiladas come in huge portion and really made from scratch, the margaritas are huge , cold and strong ! The chips and hot salsa come free before the meal ! The bartender Obie took great care of me , very friendly , on point with the drinks !
The decor is so cool too! If you are foodie or just looking for the good authentic Mexican food this is the place to be !!!
5 stars !!!!
Ps ask for the in house made spicy sauce ( spicy )

We came for lunch on a Friday (holiday week) so it was not busy at all. Everyone was so friendly and the atmosphere was great. I wanted to love the food, but unfortunately I can’t say that I did. We ordered a simple taco plate with beef and the seafood enchiladas.
The ground beef was rather dry and the enchiladas were very salty.
Would not eat here again.

I did a take out on Sunday November 30, 2025 as myself and daughter had a taste for tacos. I suggested this place as previous visit over the years food was good. I placed three orders
of combination hard shell tacos beef and chicken along with a side order or tortilla soup. The gentleman taking the order was kind and answered question recording the food. The food was prepared quickly within 10 minutes.I was very disappointed the tacos shells was soggy due to the abundance of tomatoes and lettuce on top of them. The chicken was old. The soup contain a lot of vegetables and lacked seasoning. The tortilla chips was hard slightly burnt and tasteless. The food was put in the trash for fear of getting sick with old appearing chicken and soggy taco shells. A waste of money and dissatisfaction. It’s been a few years since visiting this location on braeswood and not sure if under new management. It would be nice if food is fresh and better prepared.

To start, the server didn’t check on us more than twice during our dinner. Food was ok. Drinks were watery (margaritas on the rocks) either the bar tender was new or the server taking too long to bring drinks out.
I saw her taking margaritas to other tables and they looked the same (all water down drinks).
Please treat everyone the same and provide the same great service to everyone not just to white people. (I could tell they treat us differently).
If the bar tender is new, he needs to do better. Or if the problem is the server, she needs to improve

Love these guys, I have a great time every time I come here. I’ve been gone for some years. I came back to visit with my God mom and we fell in love with Oby the bartender. The food is always good

Update January 2025: Have they upgraded their margaritas? Not sure, but I’m enjoying them more lately. I dunno. However, I’m upgrading my rating on the atmosphere. It recentkt was a cold and miserable rainy day, and I wished for the feel of a British Pub. I also didn’t want to drive 7 miles, so we came here and got their soups. Amazingly, though i can’t say it’s not quite the same as a pub, we did feel cozy in a booth, got warmed by the hearty soups, and left quite contented.
Old review:
We come here regularly because it’s good, relatively lower-priced, good service, and close to home. Margaritas? Meh, but sometimes they fulfill a desire, and they’re fun. Note that they’ll modify a dish to your tastes with no problems, and I usually end up getting a healthier meal than what you’d expect at a Mexican restaurant.

Food is decent but the margaritas are really below par. Wish our neighborhood texmex place made a good margarita but at least food is pretty good and staff is always nice and welcoming. Please work on your margarita recipe though!!
